These weren’t the petty incidents the New York Times was looking for.

The Gray Lady on Thursday asked its Twitter followers: “Have you experienced a petty crime in London?” — linking to a short New York Times article with a submission form that asked readers to share their stories.

But it didn’t go exactly according to plan as the Times’ Twitter feed was flooded with plenty of dry wit from sarcastic Brits, who shared their “petty” inconveniences. British etiquette, public transit and the cost of beer featured prominently in the replies.

“Someone bumped into me when I was walking down Baker Street. It was clearly their fault. I said sorry and they didn’t say sorry in return,” Twitter user John Hopson replied.

“The woman in front didn’t put a shopping divider down for me,” @adamkanzen tweeted.

“I sneezed on the train and not one person said ‘Bless You’ NOT ONE,” another Twitter user wrote.

“£6 for a pint. Daylight robbery!” @GarethAOwen1 wrote.

Cops solve just 4 percent of burglaries that take place in London, the New York Times wrote on a blurb before the submission form, citing police figures.

This wasn’t the first time the Times has taken flack for its London coverage. It was widely mocked in August after publishing a restaurant review titled, “Beyond Porridge and Boiled Mutton: A Taste of London,” in which a food critic who hadn’t been to the UK in more than a decade discovered good food that had once been a “sallow and predictable dining experience.”
